Please don't drop the Classic skin in the future

Post by age65 »

I saw this
Classic and smpl are now only offered as alternatives with reduced features and they will probably be dropped in the future.
but please don't. Classic is my favourite, I really can't stand Plush or any of the others.

I think the classic skin is much better than plush too, it's just easier to look at and do things with :-/

I gave Plush a try when the 6.0RC were released.  After a couple of days I went back to Classic.  If I remember correctly I was having to click multiple times to get to information that in Classic was fewer clicks and Plush did not show details Classic did show.  I too hope Classic is continued to be supported.

I stopped using Classic myself.
All the info is there in Plush, but sometimes you need to hover the mouse or do an extra click.
Also Classic is very bad at handling large queues and histories.

I tried both plush and classic and it is classic for me.  It just seemed easier to navigate.  Please keep supporting classic.

Plush is definitely an improvement IMHO, although I used to love the classic interface.
I only miss some customizability: different sets of colors and ability to display more info (I don't like having to hover)

I'm not sure if I should bring this up (  ;D ) but has anyone tried the simpl interface?  I'm thinkin' I might like it.  I have been playing with it for about 10 minutes so far and it just might become my interface of choice.

We likely to drop that one too.
It already has less than 100% functionality.
The thing has become almost unmaintainable since the original designer left.
